Editorial Reviews

This perceptive documentary examines complex issues of community development, philanthropy and civic engagement by chronicling the long-term redevelopment of an older, deteriorating neighborhood called City Heights, often referred to as the Ellis Island of San Diego. The film probes both the potential and the pitfalls of public/private partnerships in addressing the problems of inner city decay, as well as the thorny questions raised by the gentrification of multicultural urban neighborhoods. The Price of Renewal demonstrates how urban redevelopment is a double-edged sword as it explores what is gained and what is lost as the community develops and improves itself. It was directed by award-winning filmmaker Paul Espinosa. Important note about pricing: If you are a professor or student planning on using the video in a classroom setting please have your academic institution or union purchase the video at the institutional price. Simply contact the seller for that information. This will insure that: 1) The institution has legally acquired the public performance rights to use the video as a curricular resource; 2) All faculty/students/members have access to the video and; 3) Independent filmmakers who produce videos such as The Price of Renewal, and who depend on DVD sales to cover production costs, can continue to carry out their work.
